We purchased our Tailgater a couple years ago and it has worked perfect since day 1.  We have encountered a couple design flaws.  First, considering the price, and high quality of the overall unit, the tires could have been better quality, as in rubber.  Our plastic tires snapped while rolling across a flat surface, assuming the heat and cold weathered them making them weak.  The other issue is the drip point at the back of the griddle does not drip cleanly into the drip tray. It drips down both inside the frame and outside into the tray, making a grease mess on the deck.  I make a tin foil path from the griddle surface to the drip tray so it drips into the tray, but if properly designed, we wouldn't have to do that.  Other than those two issues, we love our tailgater.
